Jim Parsons

“Well, I'm a big believer in 'never say never.'”

“In L.A., I have more of a yard existence, and so I enjoy walking my two little dogs in New York - one's a Maltese and the other's a Shih Tzu.”

“I'm also a big 'American Idol' fan. I think it's just great fun.”

“My choices in projects have all been character or role-based, and on a financial level, it's obvious: as an actor on a TV series, I get a wonderful paycheck, and a consistent paycheck, which doesn't always happen when you're doing theater or movies.”

“I love seeing tennis up close.”

“I've done so much theater, and yet I never had an experience like 'The Normal Heart.' We could feel the reaction of the audience every night. It was visceral.”
